MTA Donates to Montclair Village Plaza
A couple of years ago, MTA made a donation in support of the design and construction of the new Montclair Village Plaza on Antioch Court between Mountain Boulevard and Antioch Street, less than ½ mile south of our home courts (Mountain @ Colton). Benefits to the community include:,
Improve safety on roadways for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers
Support small businesses and promote foot traffic and commerce
Live music, community gatherings, and cultural events
Construction has been completed, and MTA’s commemorative brick has been installed in the new brick patio right outside Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt on the corner of Mountain Blvd and Antioch Court. We hope you’ll take a look the next time you’re in the area!
